Default '12 JK 3.6 Does this sound like a bad starter?

My battery is good but the engine is only turning over every 1 in 5 starts or so. The other times it sounds like this, my guess is the starter is dead. Does that sound right?

I will have to agree starter. Sounds like the starter motor is turning but the solenoid may not be engaging.
